Event Details

Nothing is more critical to a nonprofit organization than enthusiastic and effective board members. Are you struggling to identify the right leaders? Moreover, are you having difficulty keeping them? Are they motivated to help achieve your mission? Do they help with fund raising?

This THIRD in a series of VEC seminars deals with the issues of not only finding board members, but the reasons why organizations are not successful in the recruiting process. The job of building a board is about more than just filling slots. The seminar will discuss effective ways to motivate board members as well as suggestions for the process of shaping your nonprofit’s board into an effective resource.

Our presenter, Ron Gawel, is a former corporate executive with over 40 years' experience in Operations and Strategic Planning with RCA, General Electric, Martin Marietta, and Lockheed. He has lectured at Dartmouth College, is a former government auditor, is presently a consultant specializing in Leadership Training, and holds a certification in Life, Career and Executive Coaching. Ron is currently President of RSVP's Board of Directors, and a former board member of a number of local nonprofits. His experiences and knowledge of board recruiting, placement, and retention bring a contemporary look to this workshop that will address Board Development issues, problems and controversies.
